Dane Andersen with the Casper Fire-EMS Department has been going through boxes of old records and photographs from the department and sharing them with the public.

Andersen has also been taking steps to organize and digitize the archives.

Two Cheyenne Animal Control officers were recently called to a report of "screams coming from an electrical pipe." When the two arrived on the scene, they found a 5-week-old kitten in a 4-foot-deep electrical pipe. They were able to rescue her and took her to Cheyenne Animal Shelter for an evaluation. With a clean bill of health, the officers are now fostering the kitten until she can be adopted.
